Abandoned honorable mention

James Blucher

Honorable mention for this week's Reader Sunshots series "Abandoned" goes to James Blucher for his picture of the Chesapeake Grain Elevator. Blucher runs a website titled Filth City Photography and does a lot of pictures of abandoned industrial buildings. A critique by Baltimore Sun director of photography Robert K. Hamilton: "Compositionally this picture breaks all the rules with the pipes going every which way, however for this picture it works. The chaos of the pipes enhances the industrial feel of the photography. The muted tones of rust and metal give the reader the sense of abandonment."
